awesome. Nice work. I just ordered 80 knuckle studs for my trail kit. Seems like a good item to have in the tool box on the trail lately.

Don't forget cone washers, split washers, and nuts. If the studs shear those parts may either be missing or non-usable. In Kevin's case, two of the studs (and their attendant hardware) were simply missing. Who knows how long they had been gone? It is entirely possible that he had been driving on only 2 studs for a while.
